Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning about 1 ounce
- 2 cups refried beans can use canned, about 16 ounces
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream divided, 12 ounces
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cream cheese softened, about 6 ounces
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded, about 4 ounces
- ½ cup tomatoes diced, about 3 plum tomatoes or 1 1/4 large tomatoes
- 2/3 cup black olives sliced, about 3.8 to 4 ounces, can use canned
- 3 green onions green tops diced
Instructions
- Place the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook ground beef until no longer pink.
- Drain grease from the pan and place back on the burner. Add taco seasoning and water to the beef and lower to medium heat. Stir the meat until mixed well and most of the liquid cooks off.
- In a medium bowl mix together refried beans, ½ cup of sour cream and optional salt until smooth, then set aside.
- Add softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sour cream to a second medium sized bowl. Mix together until smooth.
- Layer the dip in a 8 x 8 square pan. Place the refried beans in an even layer at the bottom of the pan. Next layer the cream cheese mixture on top of the beans. Add the ground beef on top of the cream cheese. Top the dip with layers of shredded cheese.
- Then add the diced tomato and black olives. Garnish the top with the green onions. Enjoy warm, or refrigerate for later and enjoy cold. Serve with tortilla chips.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If the refried beans have no salt, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to this layer.Using finely shredded cheese helps this dip be more easily dipped, but you can use other shreds of cheese if desired.I tried different combos of layering and found the taco meat in the middle to give you the best flavor.Refrigerate leftovers and use within 2-3 days.
